Summary

Vegeta and Goku inside Buu

This episode begins with Goku and Vegeta finding Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo inside pods and shortly afterward tear them down. This causes Super Buu to revert to a state prior to absorbing the others, making him weaker and more unintelligent. Vegeta suggests blasting their way outside now that they have what they came for but Goku says that they are still not powerful enough to deal with Super Buu, weaker or not.

They then notice the original Buu and after reading his mind, they discover that at one time there were two Majin Buus. Super Buu then appears inside his head while Dende and Mr. Satan cannot work out why Super Buu is motionless. A battle begins raging within the mind of Super Buu, but every time Super Buu is blasted he just appears somewhere else, unharmed. Vegeta and Goku combine their efforts, and blast Super Buu, for a short while it seems he is defeated.

Super Buu has finished playing and is ready to absorb the mighty Saiyan duo. In a desperate attempt to escape, Goku blasts a hole in Super Buu's head, but he quickly regenerates, not giving Goku and Vegeta enough time to escape. Vegeta is knocked unconscious, and Super Buu prepares to absorb him, Goku tries desperately to come to the Saiyan's aid.

Differences from the manga

Dende and Mr. Satan following Super Buu around as he goes through a city, gouging himself of cake and sweets is exclusive to the anime.

In the manga, Goku and Vegeta never fight Super Buu as Vegeta tears out Good Buu's pod before any fight began. In the anime, they first confront Super Buu for a period of time.

Trivia

Just like in the previous episode, when Goku lands next to Vegeta with Gohan, Gotenks, and Piccolo surrounding them, there is a shot where Goku is in base form, then another shot where he is shown as a Super Saiyan.

When Old Kai's Crystal Ball is on the fritz, Kibito Kai says that he created that one himself. However, this is incorrect, as the Old Kai created the Crystal Ball while awakening Gohan's Hidden Potential.

During the flashback to the Good and Evil Buu fight, the English versions make it sound like Goku and Vegeta are reading Super Buu's thoughts (Goku did something similar to Krillin during the Namek Saga). However, in the Japanese version and in the manga, they never read Buu's mind and Vegeta simply tells Goku about what he had watched from the Other World while he was dead (the flashback in the anime simply accompanying his account of what happened).
